Rita Ora, a renowned singer-songwriter, recently shared insights about her connection with a prominent artist, humorously mentioning that they are now too occupied to promptly respond to her messages. During a discussion about a previous gathering she hosted, Rita mentioned Sabrina Carpenter.
The 34-year-old singer disclosed that she had invited Sabrina, aged 26, to a New Year’s Eve event she organized in New York some time back. This invitation was extended before Sabrina’s song “Espresso” gained massive success, topping the charts after its release in April the previous year, with the event taking place towards the end of 2023.
Sabrina made an appearance on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2024 at the conclusion of 2023, a show that Rita and Ryan Seacrest had co-hosted for the past two years. Sabrina delivered a medley performance of her tracks “Feather” and “Nonsense,” followed by a live conversation with Rita during the broadcast.
Speaking on the “In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele” podcast, Rita reminisced about Sabrina attending her party held at a venue with a basketball court. Rita playfully mentioned that Sabrina now neglects to reply to her messages, before clarifying that she was joking.
The podcast host, Owen Thiele, amusingly shared his failed attempt to secure an invitation to the party, leading to a humorous exchange with Rita about his mistaken assumptions. Rita jokingly acknowledged the mix-up, highlighting the challenge of responding to texts during live TV engagements.
Owen’s recollections continued in the latest podcast episode, where he recounted his initial embarrassment and eventual attendance at the party, alongside Sabrina. Rita fondly recalled the event as a peak moment before Sabrina’s heightened popularity post-“Espresso,” when communication was more straightforward.
Despite the jest, Rita clarified that Sabrina indeed responds to her messages and described her as a gracious individual. The friendly banter on the podcast highlighted the busy schedules of both celebrities and the challenges of staying connected.
